This is my first experience with wireless products, and this mouse, also marketed as Marathon Mouse, doesn't disappoint. I thought "hyperscroll" was just another gimmick, but within the first few hours of surfing, I found myself loving it. You press the button behind the scroll wheel and it basically takes off the "brakes." You can spin the wheel down to the bottom of a long page or list without messing with scrollbars. And speaking of scrolling, if you download the software from Logitech, "leaning" on the scroll wheel on one side or the other will scroll a wide page side to side. And two buttons at the top of the thumb curve will page you back or forward. These features I described are good because it keeps you from having to pick up and move the mouse a lot. The reason you don't want to do that is because it's kind of heavy. It's called "marathon" because it will last up to three years on the AA batteries because there are two of them. You can actually take one out because they aren't in a circuit, but then it's not "marathon" anymore; however, the remaining battery can be placed in either spot changing the center of gravity. So it's entirely up to the user as to what they want to do (but I still think it's heavy). I'm definitely happy with the mouse, and the dinky little receiver is great, too. It has a long range and I was able to pair it with the Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard (not available here) using just the one, which frees up a USB port. (Meaning you don't have to get a dedicated combo set.) I have no problems recommending it.

I had a microsoft mouse that I could program the buttons to open specific programs or excel spreadsheets or whatever. This mouse said it could do that. After 5 or 6 calls to support and trying to understand non-english speaking techs, I finally got someone who said it could be done but then found that it could not be done. Very long and frustrating. If you just want a mouse to click and point and do the normal actions, this is not a bad mouse but I wanted more and the pkg said the buttons would be prgramable. They are but very limited...cannot open programs or word or excel etc.

        In my experience Logitech equals quality. This is the 2nd M705 purchased and it works flawlessly in my business applications. Fast accurate tracking and fits hand perfectly making for ease of use over long periods of time. Suggest to insure long battery life, if you're going to be away from computer for awhile turn the mouse over and turn it off. Makes a huge difference.

          I spent 3 weeks researching all the "mice" out there to decide which mouse was best for me. I chose the Logitech M705. I bought it at Staples. Staples had samples that I could hold and find the best fit for my hand.

          I have owned Logitech mice before and they worked great!

              What action does the little black button between the scroll wheel and the green light perform when pressed?

              &

              What does the light indicate when lit?

              It looks like the button depicts a refresh symbol on top and a gear of sorts on the bottom, both separated by a forward slash.

              • A:

                The extra button on top of the mouse is a lock button, used to switch between hyper fast and precision scrolling modes. The light is the battery indicator and turns red when the battery only has a couple of weeks of life left.

            • Q:

              Is the large thumb key programmable? Does the scroll click like a regular scroll? Can the scroll also be clicked (pushed down) and programmed?
              Asked on 10/14/2010 by Anonymous

              3 answers

              • A:

                The scroll can be used as a regular scroll with clicks, and also as a "hyper-fast" smooth scrolling (good for flying thru long documents or long web pages). These settings can be turned on/off back & forth via the switch below the scroller.

                And of course the scroll wheel can also be used as a clickable button. In fact, I think every single mouse out there can do that.

                A:

                Depends on the mouse. Look in the control panel and see if the mouse is listed under "mouse". If it is, it will show you what can be programmed. I have found that only microsoft makes mice that can be programmed to open programs or excel speadsheets or word docs, etc. I have a MS wireless mouse 5000 and it does have prgramable buttons. If you don't have a microsoft mouse, google your mouse and see what capabilities it has.

                A:

                Yes. When using the logitech software, all of the buttons can be programmed to do different things. Yes, the wheel clicks, and free spins. It's a simple push of the selector button to go back and forth. Yes, the wheel is also a button you can push on.

                A:

                It seems that it is definitely designed with right-handed users in mind, due to the contours and curves. I have never seen a left-handed version online or in the store, and I occasionally check because my wife is a lefty. You may have to check out a different model, which is a shame because this one is outstanding in every way.

                Yes. THere's a tiny bluetooth receiver that plugs into a USB port. The mouse itself runs on two AA batteries. Sizsewise, it's larger than a true "portable" mouse, but smaller than a full desktop mouse.

                All mice are useable on a laptop and desktop - if it says "notebook" mouse, it just means it's smaller.
